Guess the Breed!

[TTFarmChicks]

After doing a lot of research and deciding to purchase hens versus chicks, I caved and got chicks. I'm a first timer, but I researched breeds and my top pick was Australorps. My local TSC had them in stock and I thought I'd get some others for variety. So I got 4 Australorps, 3 Barred Rock, and 3 Wyandottes. I should have known better when the staff couldn't tell the Barred Rocks from the Wyandottes.... BUT my real problem is that I don't think I have Australorps. In the picture the four at the bottom are ALL black and much smaller than the others. I think they might be Sex Links? Chick pros, what do you think?

Hi there! Could you get a picture of the comb, legs, and full body up close? It'll definitely help in identifying these birds!

Hopefully they are not bantams of some sort.

I see 3 wyandottes in there. I am unsure on the others.

 

[TTFarmChicks]

Yes, three wyandottes and three barred rock. I just can't figure out the little black ones.

Hopefully they are not bantams of some sort.

If they are bantams, could they not be together? I hate the thought of returning a live animal to a store.

They can do well in a mixed flock - 'mini' eggs are the only drawback.
